Trouble shooting

•

The RS-232 cable, included in the delivery, should

preferably be used. If the cable is in-house produced
the correct wiring has to be ensured. See connection
diagram in Chapter "Connectors"

•

The interface configurations of the control unit has to

correspond accurately with the following settings.

•

If the delivered RS-232 cable is used with an additional

interface adapter, please verify if this adapter does not
modify the RS-232 wiring.

•

The serial interface of the control unit may not be

occupied by other programs.

• Data bits

• 8

• Stop bits

• 1

• Parity

• no

• Handshake
